Music Ministry

 

St. John’s has a vibrant, active music program. The purpose of our music ministry is to help the congregation worship. The gifts and talents of participating members are used to praise God and to proclaim God’s Word through music.

 

Nearly 100 members are involved in various musical groups. They are:

 

Senior Choir

The senior choir rehearses each Wednesday at 6:30-7:45 pm in the sanctuary, September-May.  They sing in worship 2-3 times per month.  Contact Becky for more information.
